In nomine patris
A journalist's career-defining trip turns into a fight for survival in a haunted village.
Britany Barlax arrives in Krimstown expecting professional success. A crash redirects her to Westrelom, where she investigates a mass exodus caused by unspeakable events. The local history is steeped in demonic lore, and the remaining secrets are guarded by forces that refuse to stay buried. As Britany digs deeper, the boundary between observer and victim dissolves. The narrative does not offer safe havens; every clue leads closer to the entity tracking her movements. This work examines how ambition can blind individuals to immediate physical dangers, only for them to face a far more insidious threat that operates outside normal laws of physics or logic.
The narrative is set in the fictional locales of Krimstown and Westrelom. It draws on gothic horror traditions involving fleeing populations and hidden evils. The story reflects a contemporary setting where professional ambition clashes with supernatural intervention, typical of modern supernatural fiction.
